The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Forlì Castle.

The underground magic training room.

Link was looking intently at the ebony wand in his hand.

To be precise, it was a drop of water slowly gathering on the tip of his staff.

This water droplet showed an uncomfortable bluish-gray color as a whole. It floated quietly above the tip of Link's staff, refracting the surrounding lights.

But this is only the initial form.

With the slow infusion of Link's magic power, the absolutely smooth and round surface of the water droplet began to change.

It first slowly elongated into an oval shape, then spread out into a whole flat surface, followed by triangles, trapezoids, squares...

After changing almost all the more common geometric patterns, the water drop finally exploded and turned into water mist all over the sky.

The water vapor slowly dissipated into the air and disappeared.

But Link's face still didn't look relaxed at all, but instead became more nervous.

He continued to maintain the magic output, and clutched the wand tightly, slowly turning it towards a dead pig that was skinned and hung not far away.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

boom--

Dense bluish-gray ice suddenly burst out from all parts of the dead pig's body, directly impaling the dead pig into a hedgehog, and those parts of the dead pig's body that were in close contact with the ice began to turn black and rotten at an alarming rate!

"Hoo!~"

Link finally let out a long sigh of relief.

After his injury improved, he directly devoted himself to analyzing and researching Mike's fighting style. It took him a full five days, and now he finally has some results.

Although he still cannot create the kind of cold mist that Mike used at that time, through research on integrating the power of curse into the ability to control water, he can now reproduce some of Mike's combat scenes.

After being re-constructed and deeply integrated, the cold poison can not only appear in a liquid state, but can also cause the cold poison to change its shape at will, just like the one used by Link just now to continuously deform, and even turn into a gaseous state and merge into the enemy's body. The method of converting it into ice can also be achieved.

At the same time, after the purity of the curse power is improved, the destructive power of the cold poison is also greatly increased.

Of course, this manifestation of destructive power seems a little too vicious.

But Link doesn't care. Any black or white cat that can catch mice is a good cat. He thinks no matter how vicious it is to its enemies, it can't be too vicious.

After the brief moment of joy, Link opened his data panel again.

On the interface full of complicated patterns, Link could clearly see that the experience bar that should have disappeared long ago reappeared under his replenishment spell because he used gold skill points.

Not only that, the golden bar representing experience in the experience bar has actually increased a lot!

Looking at this scene, Link's mood became mixed.

Fortunately, the changes that have occurred in the Continuing Curse have broken his previous understanding of the use of 'golden skill points'. In the future, after breaking through the limit of the curse, you may still be able to use independent learning methods to increase experience points. This It will be of great benefit to his long-term development.

After all, as his skill level increases, his demand for gold skill points will become greater and greater, but the number of ways to obtain gold skill points has never increased.

What is worrying is that Link is obviously only conducting research based on Mike's combat skills, but it has caused a strange increase in the experience of the continuation spell.

In a sense, this is tantamount to proving Link's previous conjecture about "Mike can use skills higher than his own level."

Link's 'sixth sense' brought about by his soaring mental power always made him feel very uneasy about this.

It's like there's a secret hidden here that's very detrimental to Link.

"Link, it's time for us to go!"

Mrs. Foley's familiar voice suddenly sounded from the mesh mouth on the wall, waking Link up from his reverie.

Link shook his head, took several deep breaths, and rubbed the muscles on his face vigorously, until a smile appeared on his lips again, then he opened the door and walked out.

Mrs. Foley and Emily were already waiting in the corridor.

Seeing Link appear, Mrs. Foley quickly stepped forward and put a thick cloak with snow fox fur sewn on the collar around Link.

"How does the wound on your body feel? If it happens again at Hogwarts, be sure to tell me! You must remember that nothing is as important as your body, and you should leave those disturbing things behind. Just let it go, we don’t need to do it ourselves..."

Mrs. Foley said as she helped Link tie the tie on the collar of the coat.

And listening to her chattering, the slightly stiff smile on Link's face finally became genuine.

At this moment, he really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by his parents.

Emily didn't speak, just stood quietly behind Mrs. Foley and watched everything.

During the entire Christmas holiday, except for a trip to Gringotts, they stayed with Mrs. Foley almost the entire time.

But there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever, and now it’s time to say goodbye again.

Emily knew very well how happy they had been together before, and how uncomfortable Mrs. Foley was at this moment.

How long can the lace of a large cloak be?

Although Mrs. Foley had used the most tedious knotting technique, the knot on the lace was tied in a short time.

However, she hadn't finished speaking yet.

Mrs. Foley opened her mouth slightly, but hesitated to speak. Finally, she just touched Link's face and said:

"Is your luggage ready?"

This sentence was not meant for Link. The housekeeper at home was always responsible for helping Link sort out his school materials every year.

After hearing this, Little Button appeared out of nowhere, saluted to several people and said:

"It's ready. Except for the things that the young master and the young madam specified to keep, I have replaced all the other things with brand new ones."

As he spoke, two traceless stretching spell bags embroidered with the crest of the Foley family were handed out.

Link took the bags from the two of them and said with a smile:

"Good job."

Link's compliment was by no means polite, but sincere.

Due to the Gringotts robbery, the entire Diagon Alley is still closed to this day.

During this period, the trade center of the entire magical world in the country naturally shifted to Hogsmeade.

Coupled with the "Daily Prophet's" poor predictions about the future economic situation with no bottom line, panicked people began to hoard supplies at home.

This has caused prices in Hogsmeade to skyrocket, and some in-demand items are often out of stock.

Although the Ministry of Magic has sent personnel to manage order, the people's emotions are still gradually getting out of control, and looting and vandalism also occur from time to time.

After the entire crisis, the only people who benefited were the vendors in Hogsmeade Village.

They were making so much money through constant hoarding that they were almost smiling, but the Ministry of Magic had too many things to do and had no time to deal with them.

To be able to purchase enough supplies in such a difficult time like this, Little Button is indeed capable.

"Then, mother, let's go."

Link bowed to Mrs. Foley and then took Emily's hand.

Seeing this, Mrs. Foley forced out a smile and waved to Link.

She actually understood that what Link would encounter next would become more and more difficult, so she couldn't help but say:

"If you can't do it, don't force yourself. We have no way out!"

Link nodded with a smile, and the twisted ripples that rippled through the space as he waved the wand lightly also covered him and Emily.

A few seconds later, Link and Emily appeared on platform nine and three-quarters.

Today is the end of the Christmas holiday at Hogwarts, and the place is already bustling with people, making it unbelievably lively.

But Link, who was in the "busy city", had long lost the smile on his face that he had at home.

At the last moment when the teleportation was activated, he seemed to hear Mrs. Foley crying...

Emily could sense Link's emotional changes very clearly.

But all she can do now is hold the other person's hand tightly and let Link know that she is not alone.

Not far from Link and Emily, there was a pair of parents who were saying goodbye to their children. Their expressions and nagging look were very similar to Mrs. Foley's previous appearance.

Their emotions easily infected their children, causing them to have red eyes.

Even when the parents left, the child, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old at most, burst into tears.

But Link?4?6 knew very well that this effect was only temporary.

It wouldn't take an hour for the child to forget all about the feeling at this moment, and happily start looking forward to the dinner after arriving at Hogwarts.

After watching the entire process of the family's separation, and standing in the crowd and taking several deep breaths, Link finally managed to calm down his emotions and led Emily towards the Hogwarts Express train.

There were many people standing in front of them.

Ordinarily, Link would have politely asked him to borrow it, and then squeezed past.

But today, he suddenly didn't want to do that.

"Left and right separation."

As Link's calm words ended, the dense crowd was suddenly separated from the middle, just enough to open a path for Link and Emily to pass side by side.

Link took Emily and continued to move forward without looking back.

Most of the people who were suddenly separated by the magic turned to look at them angrily. There were a few stronger middle-aged men and a blond and white-skinned woman who seemed to want to come up to Link to argue with him. one time.

The sudden huge force just now caused them to fall hard.

But when they saw clearly that Link and Emily were clearly dressed in either rich or noble ways, as well as the Forley family emblems embroidered on their clothes, they all shrank back.

Those angry looks also disappeared.

Everyone lowered their heads silently, not even daring to say anything.

The Foley family has been developing rapidly for nearly three years under Link's control, especially after annexing the Beckman family, it has made up for the Foley family's shortcomings in other business areas.

Nowadays, the tentacles of the Foley family have extended to all walks of life in the country.

Every wizarding family in the country cannot avoid using various products from the Foley family company in their home.

Facing this terrifying monster family, no one here dared to offend.

Not even the Malfoy family, which is part of the Twelve Holy Clan like the Foley family, would not dare!

Amidst this eerie silence, Link and Emily walked into the luxurious carriage reserved for school directors.

It wasn't until the two of them sat down that Emily sighed and helped Link take off his cloak and said:

"Are you more comfortable?"

Knowing that Emily was talking about the use of 'left and right separation' just now, Link said expressionlessly:

"It doesn't seem to be."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Make me a cup of tea."

After hearing this, Emily took out various materials from the tray on the coffee table and started making tea, while Link sat opposite her and looked at her quietly.

Drinking tea doesn't actually make Link feel peaceful, but watching Emily make the tea itself does.

"Dong dong dong..."

A rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded.

However, neither Link nor Emily cared.

They brewed tea step by step, until a pool of brown-red black tea with steam floating on it was pushed in front of Link, and the carriage door finally opened automatically.

Standing outside the door were Newland and Skeffen.

Si Gefen looked a little embarrassed, his clothes were in a mess, and there were a few fresh scars on his face. He didn't know how they got there.

In comparison, Newland is much more refreshing.

He was still wearing the same Hogwarts school robe that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. Link had never seen him wearing other clothes, as if he had only this one piece of clothing that he could use.

And it's still old, a little white and faded after washing, but it's clean.

The most important thing is his smile.

In the past, when Newland smiled at you, you could feel more of gloom and ferocity, but at this moment, there was a bit more sincerity in this smile.

The two of them did not come in after the door opened automatically, but stood respectfully outside the door, even though they had been waiting for almost half an hour.

It wasn't until Link took a sip of the tea in the cup and said "Come in" that they sat on a slightly shorter chair near the door.

"Mr. Foley, I wonder why you called us here?"

The first person to speak was Newland.

Si Gefen sat strangely in his chair without saying a word, which was very rare for a highly competitive person like him.

Link glanced at the two of them, put down the teacup in his hand and said:

"Umbridge discovered that Hagrid had raised a giant in the Forbidden Forest. Now Hagrid has been seriously injured and is being treated in the infirmary. Although Harry, Ron and Hermione were not injured, they were identified as He became Hagrid's accomplice and is now under house arrest in Hogwarts awaiting trial."

As soon as these words came out, Newland's pupils suddenly shook.

Si Gefen was also so excited that he almost fell off his chair.

Those who are not well-informed have only just heard of these things.

Nulan's throat squirmed, and countless thoughts passed through his mind, but in the end he gritted his teeth nervously and said:

"Sir Foley, I didn't do this!"
